Q&A with Liverpool chief executive Ian Ayre pricing and tickets has been called off.

Yeah, don't know what to make of that. I mean that was always going to be a club censored sham regardless. The 3 supporters groups who were in the discussions the last 13 months have one at half 7 I believe on line. Post the details when I'm home.

Jusr curious as to why the Boston propaganda machine has cancelled that. Are they actually discusing making changes? Balls in their court.

Love the official line of it being cancelled down to on going discussions in the ticket process. Discussions with whom? Yourselves? No fan group has yet been contacted. Shithouses.

Don't let combined wages fool you. Utd, City and Chelsea will think nothing of dropping upwards of £200 grand a week or more if it meant securing a player they wanted from one of their rivals. Individually, we still rarely go to anything like that. (As absolutely abhorrent as those wages are. They are what they are sadly.).

Arsenal are the same. They're still capping off their wages at £140 K a week. Which in principle is brilliant and should be MORE than enough for anyone to say the least. But it pails in comparison when other clubs will add another 40 odd percent to that.

Markovic is in Istanbul at Fenerbahce and can't be recalled this year.

Arsenal cap their wages becuase they have very poor wage hierarchy. United and Chelsea don't.

Train prices ridiculous, so I am driving down to the outskirts somewhere and parking down any old side street and getting the tube into wembley.

Once around London it's very easy to get around just using a day pass on the tube

Always found Brent's Cross the easiest for that. Park up just past the station, in a decent area. Straight on the M1 again after.

That said, the last time we came off at Stanmore. (Free parking the station car park Sundays or was.). Not far off the M1 and around 5 stops down from Wembley Park. That was real convenient too.

We we are round the other side the ground for some reason so Wembley Park is probably better. Not that it really matters if you're in the car. Just a longer walk.

Oh, if you have a contactless card the tube takes those now too. Brings the cost down to what Oyster Catd users pay in London. Just scan it both ends like you would an Oyster.

Yeah the trains are too much, I remember looking at the prices for the UFC which is on the night before. I think I saw the official LFC site linking Thomson Sport coaches for around £35.

If I get a ticket I might think about driving up so I'll let you lads know.

You're gonna' hate me but booked the train before Stoke for a tenner. (Fiver each way.).

Figured we could stand that brilliant deal if we lost haha.

Cheers mate.

Looking forward to it - Could be a brilliant day!

Don't mention it.

Yeah, any final day out at Anfield South is a brilliant day haha. But City just makes it feel really big as opposed to Cardiff the last time. No disrespect to them.

And IF Daniels back and playing by then .....

Without doubt.

City are certainly favourites, but it would make a win even better. The fact we went to the Etihad and beat them 4-1 shows it can be done

If we could have Coutinho - Firmino - Sturridge for that game it would be incredible

MPs accuse Liverpool of disregarding fans ticket price increase | Football | Sport | Daily Express

Not a good sign for the club when even Parliment are debating the issue. Fair prices for all right Ian?

Power of a unified fan stance.

 

[Tezzz]

I'm feeling very confident about the game!! I think we'll take these.

 

[Tezzz]

The ballot registration has ended so hopefully we'll get some news on if I've got this ******* ticket or not!!

 

[Scouseinthehouse]

Members from SOS, Spion Kop 1906 and the LSC, the three groups who formed the ticket working group, answering questions for the next hour or so for anyone interested. Not surprisingly the gutless ***** from Liverpool turned down another invitation to join in.

#TicketQA to ask. https://twitter.com/hashtag/TicketQA?src=hash

The YouTube to the live discussion is obviously now dead but I'll link the audio when it's up. Excellent and very informative Q and A.

Boston, the ball really is now firmly in your court. You've seen fan power in action after 24 short hours and all the highlighted negative reaction it's brought on your outright greed. All we want is fair consideration for all and affordable parity across the board. Hopefully you'll come back to dialogue and set this right.

Because if you **** this up again your brand is going to get shot to ****. If you think Sat'day was bad, wait for future action.

Sorry to hear that mate. Yeah, the rail prices in this Country are an absolute disgrace unless you drop lucky and book well in advance. Where they get off justifying that is beyond me.

If you got the train to Euston, you could then get a straight overground to Wembley Central. (21 mins. Very regular) for £11.80 return. Or the tube to either station the ground dependent on if you where somewhere else in London first. (Straight tube to Wembley Park from Euston Square which is short walk.). You'd want a zone 1-4 on the Metropolitan line which would be the same price or around half with a contactless card.

All depends on where your you are. Pretty easy to work out from a tube map.

Maybe look at the coach as a cheaper option? Just a ball ache longer journey.

That's what I'm considering now.

Funnily enough a month or so back I nearly booked Train tickets so I could see the UFC the night before. Gutted I didn't now, would have been the perfect weekend away.

 

[LFCMarshall]

Good to see Firmino getting some recognition winning the PFA fans' player of the month.

Almost carried us from an attacking point of view recently
